Witch Child of Pilot's Knob

The Witch Child of Pilot's Knob is a Kentucky urban legend that tells of a five-year-old girl named Mary Evelyn Ford and her mother, Mary Louise Ford, being burned at the stake in the 1900s for practicing witchcraft in the town of Marion, Kentucky.

History
The legend goes that Mary Evelyn Ford and Mary Louise Ford where both accused of witchcraft in the town of Marion. Instead of charging them through the court system, the townsfolk decided to burn them at the stake. Mary Louise's body was taken somewhere and buried far away from Marion and Mary Evelyn's body was buried in the town Pilot's Knob, Kentucky. The townsfolk buried Mary Evelyn in Pilot Knob Cemetery in a steel lined grave, covered her casket in concrete and gravel, and surrounded her grave with an interconnected fence of crosses out of fear that she would rise from the dead to take revenge.

Mythos
It is said that Mary Evelyn's spirit cannot pass the fence around her grave, but she can pull people down into it if they get near enough, and she tries to taunt people into coming closer. It is also said that there is a dark spirit outside of her grave's fence called "The Watcher" who is said to haunt Pilot Knob Cemetery and seems to be attempting to claim the girl's soul, but cant get her through the fence, he waits to claim the girl's soul and will chase off anyone in the cemetery.
